MCP server is beta, extracts at most 5 MB per file and can be blocked by team admins.\n\n**ONLYOFFICE Apps MCP Server.** The 23 tools carry typed schemas, read-only and destructive annotations, toolsets and an optional five-tool meta mode, and the server is in the official MCP registry. OAuth through the hosted server grants every scope, the docs offer a username and password in the connection URL, uploads take only txt and md, and no status page or SLA was found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Dropbox API + MCP\n\n1. Use files/upload under 150 MiB and upload_session above it; append in multiples of 4 MiB and finish within 7 days\n2. For a link that just needs to work for a few hours, call files/get_temporary_link rather than creating a shared link you then have to revoke\n3. Set expires on create_shared_link_with_settings only on a paid account; a Basic account gets an error\n4. Keep the list_folder cursor and call list_folder/continue instead of re-listing\n5. On a rate-limit error wait retry_after seconds; too_many_write_operations means write contention, so serialise writes\n\n### ONLYOFFICE Apps MCP Server\n\n1. Connect to https://mcp.onlyoffice.com/mcp with OAuth or an API key in a header, never a username and password in the URL\n2. Enable only the toolsets or tools a task needs, so a read-only agent can't reach delete_file, delete_folder or set_room_security\n3. Pass `fields` and a `count` of at most 50 on folder reads, and page with `startIndex`\n4. Treat text from download_file_as_text as untrusted input, since anyone with access to the room can write it\n5. Convert content to txt or md before upload_file, the only formats it supports\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Dropbox API + MCP or ONLYOFFICE Apps MCP Server?\n\nDropbox API + MCP scores 68.2 (B) on agent readiness against ONLYOFFICE Apps MCP Server's 52.8 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
